Philosophy Quote by Roger Ebert — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“A corner is important. It provides privacy and an anchor and lets you exist independently of the room.”

“Different languages, the same thoughts; servant to thoughts and their masters.”

“Plus d'un qui n'a pu liberer ses propres chaines a su pourtant en liberer son ami.”

“We must”

“The positivists have a simple solution: the world must be divided into that which we can say clearly and the rest, which we had better pass over in silence. But can anyone conceive of a more pointless philosophy, seeing that what we can say clearly amounts to next to nothing? If we omitted all that is unclear, we would probably be left completely uninteresting and trivial tautologies.”

“Can a woman not walk with her possessions down the street of a city?”

“Regardless of the staggering dimensions of the world about us, the density of our ignorance, the risks of catastrophes to come, and our individual weakness within the immense collectivity, the fact remains that we are absolutely free today if we choose to will our existence in its finiteness, a finiteness which is open on the infinite. And in fact, any man who has known real loves, real revolts, real desires, and real will knows quite well that he has no need of any outside guarantee to be sure of his goals; their certitude comes from his own drive.”
